Technology Transfer

WE PUT RESEARCH TO WORK FOR ALL OF US

Although research and innovation can be rewarding in its own right, it is the application of the work that literally brings it to life.  That’s where the Office of Technology Transfer shines. Housed within the FedEx Institute of Technology, the OTT generates revenue for the University by shepherding new innovations from big idea to licensed intellectual property to breakthrough commercial product. The number of invention disclosures, issued U.S. patents, copyrights and licenses grows each year, contributing to the success of start-ups and established corporations alike and improving products and processes in fields ranging from water treatment to neuroscience.
